That’s a bit of a scary thought. Does the future of human interaction with machines lie with us transferring our brains to those machines because they are better than our bodies (those useless and out-dated tools)?

Eventually, I agree, all machines will be controlled by mere thought, and we’ll possibly achieve telepathic communication by means of built-in cybernetic radio transceivers, but there is still a lot to do to reach that point.

I think that gestures in air without touching the screen or voice commands will become popular next but I could be wrong.
